Topic:  publication of ixml spec as W3C CG Report
****************************************************************

Rules: https://www.w3.org/community/about/faq/#how-do-we-publish-a-report

Published report:
  https://www.w3.org/community/reports/ixml/CG-FINAL-ixml-20231212/

There is one problem: CG Reports are linked from the Reports page and
from the page for the responsible CG:

  https://www.w3.org/community/reports/
  https://www.w3.org/community/ixml/

Currently, both of those link use not the URL of the report but to a
URL which returns a 404:

  https://ixml.nwalsh.com/ixml/CG-FINAL-ixml-20230710/

Progress report needed on action 2024-02-20-a.

Topic: Next meeting
****************************************************************

Normal date and time for ixml meetings is every other Tuesday at 3 pm
British Time, 4 pm Central European Time (14:00 UTC during summer
time, 15:00 UTC during winter time).  For the foreseeable future, we
meet in weeks whose numbers in the ISO week numbering are even.

On the usual schedule, the next meeting would be Tuesday 19 March, at
15:00 UTC for one hour.

N.B. For that meeting, times in the U.S. will be one hour later than
usual (11 am EDT instead of 10 am EST, and so on).  After 31 March
both sides of the Atlantic will be on summer / daylight savings time.

For the record: the current state of the minute-taking rota is:

  M Sperberg-McQueen 2023-10-17
  John Lumley        2023-11-28
  Steven Pemberton   2024-01-09
